The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibba is one of the most frustrating games I've ever thought about in a long time, and it's the first No I've ever given when asked if I recommend a game. Let's start with the pros, because they are numerous and do deserve to be highlighted. Typing games are always going to have some kind of novelty in this day and age, and Textorcist is no exception. Instead of being focused on typing singular words to kill enemies, you are required to type out full on exorcism liturgical rites. Combine that with the boss rush nature of how the game plays, and you have a genuinely really cool idea! The presentation is also worth commending, at least on some level. The music adds to the overall campy, B movie horror feel that this game is clearly trying to go for. Now for the cons. These are also numerous, and must be highlighted. Remember how I said that this is a typing game? Yeah I lied a little bit. This is also a bullet hell game. A bullet hell game that expects ...

I found myself dying a lot when trying to type quickly under pressure, which might frustrate some players. ⏳😅 [b]📝 Typing Fatigue [/b] Long sessions can be tiring for your fingers and...
Really unique game with great graphics and music. Unfortunate I have to say this but based on all the negative reviews I should -> you prob want to know how to type somewhat quickly in order to play this lmao
Try this game with gamepad or joystick.
Really good and unique game. If you don't know how to type a little bit fast don't even try this, you must have typing skills before playing this game. Most bad reviews of this game are because of that, people don't know how to type fast enough so they get mad and leave a bad review. This game has a little bit of lore, but it is more like a Boss Rush tbh. If you are expecting a magnific lore, lower your expectations. It has a cool lore, but it is not like, "WOW". The only bad thing about this game is the Hardcore mode, which some bosses are just, being lucky that your bible don't fly away or the boss don't spam undodgable attacks. But you will only have this problem if you want to get all achievements in game. Actually there is another bad thing, if you miss some achievements you must erase your savefile to get them. You will also only strugle with this if you want to get all achievemens in game. The game has more goods than bads, like, 5 bads and 100 goods lol.
Game is great at what it does. Gameplay is challenging and engaging in all the right ways. If you like typing games, this one is for you. If you like games that reward precision and god gamer movement, this game is for you. If you like games that reward you for figuring out synergies and different strategies, this game is for you. Only downside is that the momentum is killed by the "overworld" interactions that you have to pretend to be interested in just so you can walk into the next battle.
